"In all my campaign experience I have
never Been a brighter prospect for repub
licans than eilsts In Nebraska today," re
marked Secretary of Asrlcultura James
Wilson yesterday. Secretary Wilton
had made a tour of the state partly on tils
own account and partly to co-operate with
the Iloosovclt meeting. The veteran
lowan called at the republican statu head
quarters frenh from his trip except that hit
voles Is hoarse with tho effort of speaking
in the open air.
"Parmors are fiettlni? Rood prices nnJ
are doing well," said Mr. Wilson, "and
are actually afraid ot changing tbu men at
tho helm; they recall tho times beforu
1S96; tboy feel that tho risk Is too heavy
nnd In Hiich critical timet as those they
prefer to keep tbo good things they have
rather than rush to conditions they know
not of. Why, t it each town that I visited
they will actually furnish you with name
Ijy the sroro of democrats who have
profited by tho object lesson ot tho last
four years and will cast their ballots for
-McKlnley.
"One of the trust significant incidents of
my trip occurred at York, where a rival
meeting was being held by Amos Cummlngs
of New York, membor of congress and
Journalist. Moth meetings were well nd
ertl9ed and I was naturally Interested in
tho result. It afterward proved that Cuta
mlngs had a crowd of 200 fualonists at the
Auditorium, while tho republican gather
ing at tho court houso numbered 2,000.
"And yet Cummlngs U reported as say
ing," said a headquarters otllclal, "that be
felt at homo In this, a democratic state, us
much as if he were In tho bosom of Tam
many." "I don't know about that," replied tho
secretary, "because 1 was 'tending to my
own knitting, but I should think the pro
portions of his crowd were about those of
u family circle."

"At Hrokcn Mow tho people showed tho
sumo lively Interest In republican themes,"
continued Secretary Wilson, "and thou
sands arrived from all parts of the county
In tlmo for tho Hooscvelt meeting at 7
o'clock in tho morning, it was announced
that I would speak 'it a meeting at 'i
o'clock In the afternoon and 500 farmers
remained In tho city until that hour. At
lloldrcgo tho crowds and enthusiasm were
tho same.
"Of crurse 1 can form no Intelligence of
other parts of tho staitvrrut If reports nro
generally as satisfactory as those which
tamo to mc along my tour thoro Is not the
slightest doubt as to republican success in

Secretary Wilson expected to go at onco
to Washington, but was kept In tho city
today by a delayed connection. After at

South Omaha News . K
These Interested in numb IMiI affairs are
now talking atotlt n new charier for South
Omaha, the census controversy between
Mayor Kelly and Governor I'oynter having
called attention to the fact that this cltyls
laboring along under a charter granted when
the population amounted to only a little
over 8,000.
An priori Is to be made. It Is understood,
to tt'.'uro a special charter for South Omaha,
and one that Is adapted to the needs ot tho
city. Nentlv e-turyi.no except some oillce
seekers admit that the Lincoln charter Is
entirely too cumbersome. The salaries pro-
Ided In the Lincoln charter are considered
entirely tco high and, besides, this charter
calls for qulto a number of officers not
needed here at present.
It Is expected that Immediately after olec-
on committees will be appointed by the
ouncll and Commercial club to proceed with
the framing of n charter to be presented to
the legislature during the winter. A larger
y for both Ore nnd police service Is needed
and this feature will be brought out prom-
nently lu the proposed charter. The elec
tion of a city attorney Is also considered ad-
sable, ns the appointive system Is not con
sidered the best wny to secure a capable at
torney. An Increase In (he pay of the chief
f police and also In the compensation of
tho chief of the lire department will be
recommended, as well at some changes In
tho garbage laws. Provision will also be
mado tor repairing paved streets, as well as
some alteration In tho present system of
evylng special taxes.

Attracted by the announcement that (lov
cruor Koomvjell would appear nt the con
clusion of the performance, nn audience
that filled every seat In the theater saw the
production of Augustln Daly's musical
comedy, "A Itunaway Girl." ut tho Uoyd
Inst night. That It was well pleased with
the entertainment wns demonstrated by the
frequent encores and tho hearty applause
with which tho company was received.
Hrlelly stated, "A Runaway UIN' Is a
pleasing conceit, full of life, animation and
color. The dialogue doesn't amount to much
and the plot Is tenuous; but the music Is
catchy, tho situations aro funny and the
costuming and staging exceedingly rich and
handsome. There nro no dull moments In
the piece, nnd the action goes with a snap
and vim that arc most acceptable.
Tho cast is headed by Mr. Arthur Dunn
a diminutive comedian with funny legs
and n manner that Is both original and en
joyable. With Miss Jerome be did a number
of "stunts" that wero excellent, the best
being the coon song toward the end of the
second act. The other members of the com
pany were acceptable.
Important Document MIrkIiik.
It wns discovered yesterday that the bond
given by the Omaha Ons company to in-
cranlfy the city against dnmage during the
aylng ot malos has disappeared from the
clerk's oflke. A day or two after Clerk
Shrlgley was Inducted Into ofllce he had oc
casion to look for tills bond, but failed to
find it. Since that time he has made a thor
ough search of the riles aud Is confident that
the Lond was not In Its proper place when
o look charge. It was at first thought that
City Attorney Montgomery had taken the
bond, which is In the sum of (10.000, In or
der to prepare KUlta against the gas com
pany to recover on the KIsfelder and Durke
udgnients, but Mr. Montgomery denies all
nowledge of It. I'osslbly the bond was
ted in the KIsfcldcr or Burke cases In the
district court and It may be among tho pa
pers In these- cases In tho Mob of the clerk
of '.ho courts.
This missing bond Is causing, tho city ofll-
clals considerable uucaslucss aud every
ffort will bo made to locate it In order that
suit may be commenced against the gas
company to recovor the amount of the
Schlagel, Durke and Elsfelder Judgments.

the Third Nebraska regiment In Cuba. At
Harvard he was a classmate and close
personal friend of Governor Roosevelt
"Neighbors and frlendB," Oenernl Guild
said as he greeted the largo audience

who is Interested In the New York Ice

plank In the Kansas City platform.

havo been In forty years. It Is tho only
law the stato has ever had which has Im
posed Just taxation on large corporations."

In speaking of tho democratic arguments
advanced ngalnst militarism General Guild
pointed to Switzerland, which has an army
of 147,000, or forty-seven men to every
1,000 Inhabitants. For 600 years Switzer
land has maintained its republican form of
government and no cry of militarism has
been raised. In Lincoln's tlmo tho demo
xrnts urged the dangers of a large army
nnd the present cry Is nothing but n repe
tition of that agitation.
Soldiers in the United States arc not
conscripted; they are volunteers. Mr,
Bryan had no fear of militarism when ha
wrote his book colled "Tho First Rattle,"
In which he voiced tho following senti
ment: "Thero never can be any tyrant
rnlscd from tho free peoplo ot the United
States."
General Guild denounced Dryan's plan of
turning tho Philippines over to Agulnaldo
and declared that it meant the slaughter
ot all torelgnera. Ho denounced Agulnaldo
as n traitor, who is open to bribes and
would betray his people to tho power
which would give him tho most inouey.
As an examplo ot the tolly of tho antl
oxptiulon policy tho speaker pointed to
France's asqulHltlon of Madagascar six
years ago. At that time the United States
was selllns the Island 11. POO, 060 yards of
cotton cloth each year, Tho United States
lost that trade, which could have baen
retained It the policy of the present ad
ministration had been In force.
Anlll Wltlita Amt-riua'ii 1'roiltioU,
"Asia Is acquiring a tasto for our pro
ducts,"' said General Guild, "The China
man Is beginning to liko bread made ot our
trad" with nil Orleutnl countries Through
tho diplomacy of Eeeretary Hay our goods
will go into China, no matter what dis
mumbermetit of the empire takes place.
When we are about to enter upon commer
cial greatuues I run confident that the vot
ers of the United States will not put a stop
to tho sort of diplomacy the' present ad
ministration has offered. Six years ago
we wanted nothing to do with expansion,
but wo huvo learned much since that time
nnd have Just eomo to a realization of the
groat possibilities that await us In the
Orient."
At this point iu General Guild's speech
Governor Roosevelt and his escort entered
the hall and the meeting was turned over
lo him. The hoodlums who annoyed the
first speaker Interrupted Colonel Roose
velt several times and were finally taken
from tho hall by policemen.

Jipceii if till' Diiy,
Governor Roosevelt was scheduled to
speak nt the Doyd opera house at 10:30
and tho company now playing an engage
ment there timed Its performance so as to
close at that hour. It seemed that the
regular theater-going crowd had filled tho
play house. The assurance of having a
good teat, from which to see and hear tho
hero of Santiago, hud attracted large num
bers, but when the ushers threw open the
doors to ndmlt tho advance guard of the
iloosovclt column a good .100 were addd
to the big audience, bringing the total up
to 2.000, the full capacity ot tho bouse,
when the "standing room only" sign Is
out. Hvcry nook und cranny In the audi
torium was filled. Tho foyer w.ib crowded,
as wero the side ulsles, and a great throng
banked up tn the street nnd lobby unable
to obtain admittance.

Poutcr praised and lauded the olunteer'
soldier, but said that he had nothing
favorable to suy of the ?15 per mouth
hired soldiers of tho tegular army. After!
ho Mulshed speaking the old soldieis called I
on Dietrich und he responded and In the j
course of his speech he praised the reg-
ul at- army soldier as much as Pontcr had
praised the volunteer soldier ana in nos
ing said: 'In my campaign I have made
no promises, but I want to make Just one
now and that Is that If I am elected aud
tho legislature passes a resolution com
mending or thanking either tho volunteer
or the regular urmy soldier I certainly
shall not veto 11.' Just throe minutes
after Dietrich mado that remark Governor
Poynter leaned over to his private secre
tary, Fred Jewell, and held a whispered
consultation with him for bevoral minutes
aud then both got up and hurriedly left
the camp and were not seen thero again.
That was at 3 o'clock In the afternoon
and the speaking continued until 10
o'clock that evening. Tho fact Is they
were practically run out of the camp."

Now I want to say Just a word to you here
This town Is named O'Neill. That name
will alwas have a very closo association
to me, because of one of my captaltis who
was killed at Santiago Duck O'Neill.
"In tho big war we had Shorinan and
Fherldan. Who cared that one was of New
England aud tho other of Irish stock? Or
Slegcl, who was of German stock; qr Farra
gut, whose father came from Majorca? It
made no difference what a man's creed was,
or what his birthplace was, If he was an
American In henrt and purpose. Three sta
tions back thero wero on the platform with
mo thrco men, tho sons of farmers from tho
neighborhood, who had gone Into tho regular
army and served two years. At tho tlmo I
went Into a volunteer regiment to go to
Santiago they wero all in an Infantry regi
ment on the field of Santiago. Theso arc
the men to whom Governor Poynter alludes
as hirelings. I was glad enough to have
these 'hirelings' on either sldo of my reg
iment down there. We woro not any of us
lu a mood to pay much attention aa to
whether a man was a volunteer or regul.tr
white man or colored, and honored the uni
form ho wore. The 'hirelings' at Santiago
loft between 1,200 and 1.400 of their killed
and wounded. The mould Is fresh on the
gravca of these 'hirelings who lay In thu
Philippines. Havo they not deserved well
of their country' You. my comrades, re
member when you woro called Lincoln's
hirelings for tho eako of tho memory of tho
deeds done by thoso who preceded you, for
tho nako of tho men who now wear tho uni
form' of tho American republic who are in
spired by the memory of what your fathors
did. 1 ask tho American people to stamp
with disapproval upon any party that would
sneak ot thoto who wore tho uniform at
Uncle Bam and who bared their breasts to
the bullets ot the enomln of the republic;
who achieved glorious doods that we might
lift our heads higher. I ask ynu as Amer
ican citizens to stamp your dUapprovul on
all who sneer at hucIi men and put upon
them slight and slander, I have answered
the statement of Governor Poynter and have
given names and dates, I do not mako any
statement that I cannot stand by."
